Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Logic Controller Based Three-phase Shunt Active Filter for Line Harmonics ReductionC. Sharmeela, M. R. Mohan, G. Uma, J. BaskaranHarmonic distortion is a form of electrical noise. It is a superposition of signals, which are of multiples of fundamental frequency. Proliferation of large power electronic systems results in increased harmonic distortion. Harmonic distortion results in reduction of power quality and system stability. This paper presents fuzzy control applicable for active power filter for three-phase systems, which are comprised of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,111 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Relationships Among the Adoption Parameters of Computers and Internet in Agriculture: An Application of Probit ModelAnastasios MichailidisThe main reason for carrying out this study was to determine possible relationships among several adoption parameters of computer use, internet usage and internet access in agriculture. The key options for determining relationships (apart from non-parametric correlation techniques) are canonical correlation analysis, probit models and logit models. Canonical correlation analysis is generally seen as a weaker statistical technique than probit … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,527 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStability Analysis and Stability Chart for Unsaturated Residual Soil SlopeBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, R. S.K. RajooIn tropical residual soils most hill slope failures are caused by rainfall. It is therefore important to consider dynamic hydrological conditions when attempting to analyze the stability of residual soil slopes. This paper describes a coupled hydrology/stability model that has been developed to overcome the limitations of the standard method of analysis used to investigate stability of tropical soil slopes. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,329 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeedup of Particle Transport Problems with a Beowulf ClusterZhongxiang Zhao, G. Ivan MaldonadoThe MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport[1]. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scientists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,923 accessesView PDFCite
